Directions

[1] Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8.5x4.5-inch nonstick (gray, not black) pan. Set aside. [2] In a medium bowl, beat the sugar, bananas, oil, vanilla, and eggs on low speed until well blended, about 30 seconds. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the flour blend, flax seed, baking soda, xanthan gum, cinnamon, and salt until well blended and then gradually beat it into the banana mixture on low speed until no flour is visible, about 30 seconds. Fold in the nuts and raisins. Spread the batter in the pan. [3] Bake until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer the bread to the wire rack to cool completely. Serves 12
